Hey friends!

Any Cacti Masters want to provide some info about helping your pedros recover from a bad scale bug attack?

What kind of stuff do they like, and what are their best conditions for recovery?

Does his healing look alright?

(Also, are the scabs at the bottom their scale bugs or just some harmless thing? He's had them forever.. I've never dealt with scale bugs til now- and never knew of their existence.)

Thanks in advance!

Bump- they're still in similar condition. Any help appreciated! Trying to nurse my cacti back to health
 
It looks like you've gotten rid of the scale already and are just concerned about the scars, right?

If so, you're in good shape. Scars and corking don't typically go away once they're on a cactus. They just add personality. :) Those plants don't look to me to be in any danger of those scars killing them, so if the bugs are off they should be fine.
